Nice, this will come in handy. Anyone know what the data limit is on the free dropbox account?

If you sign up with this link: http://db.tt/ddrERIt, we both get 250MB free on top of the 2GB you get when you sign up.

I already have a free account, just curious about the limit. Thanks.

Oops lol.
Your post made it sound like you didn't have one :p

But anyways, the limit is 2GB, which is a lot, because uploading 2GB to Dropbox would take a very long time.

I've always only uploaded small files. What is the upload speed limit?

Ahh... That I don't know. There might not be a limit, and while my upload speed is pretty fast, it takes around 30s to upload a 30KB zip file. Though, it might be because it's establishing a connection, so after 20s it would start to upload, I guess. I can try it and let you know, if you want.

Never mind lol. My upload speed is almost constant at 80KB/s, which isn't bad. It's going to take 9mins to upload a 40MB zip file. Could be better, but not bad.
